It's what I had available to swap out the stock FSA stem that was uncomfortably short (about 80-90mm; replacement Zipp is 110mm), holding off on a new stem until I get a proper fit to finalize components.

I think the saddle you have is a good looking one and I'd be inclined to keep it if it's comfortable. As for bar tape, you might consider silver or gray instead of white.

Finally finished restoration on this 1994 Klein Quantum II that I picked up a few months ago. I'm not normally a white saddle/tape guy, but sometimes a bike seems to call for it.

Agree on the bars, I think a classic bend would suit this bike better. Also, try some different cages.

The below cage is nothing special, but I think they would be right for your bike.

I have another '94 in the "Sea & Sky" paint scheme which I ride often, and on that one I did update the whole front end (threadless carbon fork, stem, compact bars).
